I may try again at another point in my life. Couldn't get past the first part. Sounds like mind rambles with no direction. Went from I realize I don't need to make people happy or like me to the next sentence of I need people to like me. Very dispiriting from the first sentence.

Repetitive

Revisado: 01-08-24

I got books 1 through 9 on sale. Upon listening you notice the author fills space by repeating terms and backstories. In the 1st book, we are reminded 2 to 4 times per chapter that the main character is 40. She seems to think and say it A LOT. The chapters are not that long and the word "Midlife" is in every book title so the reminders really weren't needed.

The story without the repeated parts isn't terrible. Could have been completed in 5 or 6 books to be honest. Almost every time a supportive character was mentioned or said something, we the listener were reminded of who they were and why they were. Example: 1 immortal cursed and got chastised by a ghost. follow-up sentences were about how the immortal adored the ghost or how the ghost tasked themselves to teach the immortal manners because that's the southern way.

Next chapter, the same immortal drops another F-bomb....again we get a history lesson after the same ghost says that's not proper behavior...we get it...we remember. Especially, due to being 4 or 5 books in.

I'm debating on if I need to finish this series or let it go. I listened to the 9 books because they were in my library. I still feel the way I did after listening to the first. Going to repeat myself here since that seems to be the norm...

The story without the repeated parts isn't terrible. There are some cute and laughable moments, some of the characters actually improve - to various degrees- over the course of the series and we are introduced to others along the way. While the reminders of the protagonist's age minimized slightly, unnecessary reminders of other things ramped up.

She's 40!!!!!!

Revisado: 12-29-23

I'm on Chapter 15. Not too sure if I'll continue the series, but it's not bad enough yet that I can't finish this one. The narrator pauses in the middle of sentences in the beginning. Maybe she was turning a page? Her shrieking wasn't helpful either.

What is irritating is that the author felt the need for the main character to say she's 40 in every chapter so far. Sometimes it was doubled and trippled up on. I think the average reader is capable enough to remember the age of the main character without the constant reminder.

Great Listen

Great story of loss and the use of time travel. I'm just wondering why everyone has an accent except the main character who sounds American.

Meh

Revisado: 09-05-21

45 minutes into the free audio book I found myself thinking I was glad it was free. Waaaaay too much focus on Cade and how much the main character is crushing on him. Not sure if I will be able to finish it if every 2 thoughts is about Cade's eyes or arms🙄.

When the focus was on the actual apocalyptic event, the potential of a great story was evident. Here's to hoping the main character's mindset improves.

Well done predictability.

Revisado: 03-06-19

I was able to guess Jane's intentions and reasons within the first two chapters. Some parts were funny but overall, the story was very predictable. I was hoping for a plot twist that I didn't see coming.

Wow!

Worth every second. It's heartbreaking and funny all in one book. Tufo is the best.

Tufo Hasn't Failed Me Yet.

Revisado: 06-03-18

Some years ago I stumbled across a free version of Zombie Fallout. I was immediately hooked. The characters, story, comedy and surprises kept me coming back.

Now here we are at the 11th installment of the Zombie Fallout Series and I am still not disappointed. Mark Tufo has this great ability to make the reader go through (in my case) at least 4 emotions before midway into the books.

I've read each book twice and am now enjoying the audio versions. So worth it!
